Playoff Observations

What a game Booker just played. Triple Double, 40 pts. The kid is a star, there is no doubt about it

Yeah if you're going to do this, the way we did it in 2007-08 is the right way to do it...now.  And dropping your ego several notches goes a long way as well.  BKN can't seem to get out of their own way.  That's going to continue unless you change the GM.  Coach Nash made a rookie mistake by the end we were predicting with great accuracy.  You can't escape it.  When KD shot up that air ball, he'd been out there the whole game.  I'm almost 100% sure KD told Nash I'm playing the whole game so don't bother taking me out.  No legs.  But BKN got what they paid for in the coaching department..nothing.  

Charles Barkley's hunch is right.  You can't win a title just with scoring.

That's a lot of dough!  Good luck finding anything left under the rocks unless you just want a team full of desperate has beens looking for a title.  We can predict with great accuracy exactly how that will turn out also.  That falls under the same result as being down 3-0 and your subsequent chances of winning the series.

Yep this is the stage to do it, carried the team and made others better. One of the top 2’s in the game, making a case he is in the discussion for the best.

Frenchy should not be a long term high cost signing, and we need to develop our younger wings AN and RLand our nascent PG PP.. We still need to sign a good PG who can distribute, but we are thisclose to contending next season.

Thanks for the correction, and I named him Frenchy lol

Wondering what is Rondo’s contract situation?

I think Rondo is available, and so is Spencer Dinwiddie who could be a real asset at PG.

Logo stomping seems to be a thing.

Well, Lopez had nothing to stomp about. The Nets put him in the position he was in when they traded him. Please do not tell me his feelings were hurt!!! Children, mind your manners

Hawks up by 2 at halftime of game 7, strange game and Trae Young is 1-11 form field. Thankfully John Collins and Huerter are on. I’m thinking Trae Young will get hot and Hawks will close this out.

Just tell me why Embid gets away with all the taunting he does on the court, the yelling at the referee’s and is still in the game???? He really is a great player with a disgusting court manner. Gets away with so much s….t

This kid Richie Cunningham I mean Huerter is a lot better than he looks and is carrying them....

Young’s shoulder must really be bothering him, plus, they are hounding him. I hope Huerter keeps hitting and get Gallinelli more involved

Right!! I hate the Sixers

Go Hawks!!!!!!!

My distaste for the Sixers goes all the way back to the 60’s. They were nasty fans back then. I went to Philly for an ECF game, the 7th game, I was a kid back then. My Dad was going to kill me, he just kept saying, “keep your mouth shut and do not let them know you are a Celtics fan”!!!!!! RIGHT DAD, KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT!!!

Hawks getting tight. Tough game for Trae.

C'mon Hawks...

Heck of a game!!!

Great game. Previous game too. And yesterday's game. Good weekend for hoops

Atta boy Trae. Make some big baskets here and change the story of this game.

How does Simmons pass on a point blank lay up that has announcers even questioning him?

Sad to see, mentally he has lost it.

Not a guy you wanna go to war with.

Love it Trae hits a 3 in Simmons face!!!
